NAZARETH, Pa. – The Nazareth girls basketball team know that they let a large lead slip away in an EPC tournament loss to Parkland.<\/p>\n
Head coach Rich Bickert hopes that one of the takeaways from the setback is an understanding that they can play with anyone in the league.<\/p>\n
“We’ve lost a couple tough games this year, to be honest with you, a couple games that we should’ve won and we ended up getting beat by some of the better teams in the league,” said Bickert. “So, I told them we can play with everybody in the district, we’ve just gotta finish it off.”<\/p>\n
The Blue Eagles are seeded fourth and take on No. 5 Dieruff on Friday at Northampton High School. Nazareth defeated the Huskies 56-45 in late December.<\/p>\n
“I mean, I think we’re at the same level as every team that we’re playing in districts or every team that’s in districts,” said senior Lexi Davis. “I think we have a very good shot at, you know coming out on top. We just have to get through these rough patches and really try hard and practice hard and get there.”<\/p>\n
